What you'll learn in this beginner drawing class:

You may be interested in drawing and painting, as both an experienced artist ​or as some one just starting out on the artistic path.If you are a beginner, the artist -instructor will start you off on the fundamentals of drawing by creating your own still-life of objects to draw. For intermediate and advanced emerging artists, we work with what you are interested in creating, so that you can develop your own vision and style. Our workshops are suited to all levels of skill and our philosophy stresses "personal vision", as well as learning the science and craft of art.Reminders:Drawing materials will be provided on the first session: paper, charcoal pencils etc. If you wish to paint, please bring your materials: canvas, brushes, paints, mediums, etc.After consultation with the student, a materials list will be provided to the student after the workshop.

The art classes are offered in the intimate home-studio of the artist in the heart of the Chelsea Art district of New York City.

I know the class is officially 16+, but wondering if my 12 year old daughter (who loves art, is not too shabby at drawing and can handle herself with maturity) could take this class...please advise. Many thanks!

Hi Timothy! If the child is accompanied by a parent that will also take the class, then yes she can attend. Hope this helps!

I don’t know how to draw and am comfortable with abstract painting. What am I get out of this class? Thanks

Raphael will provide you with as much guidance as you require for drawing and will be happy to start with the absolute basics. Lots of people that attend are complete beginners and he will run you through composition, the form of objects, scaling, drawings techniques etc. Also if you have a particular idea/piece you would like to do Raphael will help you develop that piece by doing studies and then a full painting. Highly recommend for all levels.

I am completely new to drawing and art, and this was the perfect class for me! Raphael-Raul was really encouraging throughout, and helped me figure out my own personal form of expression. Going back next week! Highly recommend for anyone looking to de-stress or looking to be creative.
